How Hridei works

What is a gift registry?

A gift registry is an elegant way of sharing one’s wish list with family members and friends

How is a registry created?

Simple you select items from the online offerings and add them electronically to your wish list page.

Who should register?

The person who desires to share his/her wish list should register. In case of a wedding the groom and the bride should register jointly. Sometimes the registrant may do it on behalf of the honoree such as an anniversary celebration.

How will my friends and family members learn about my registry?

Once you upload the email id’s of your friends and family members Hridei will send them an email linking them directly to your registry

What is “group gifting”?

This feature enables you to add an expensive item which you desire and with the functionality available in Hridei registry several invitees can come together to give you that gift, which otherwise would not have been possible for you to either buy it yourself or be gifted by an individual

How does this work?

When you create your wish list you will be asked to identify items that you wish to be added to the group-gifting category. You will also be asked to rank them priority wise. Only one item will be live at any point of time. Invitees will add the amount that they wish to and once the entire amount is added this item will be closed and a next item in the ranking in the group-gifting will open. This will carry on till all items in the group-gifting list are completed. You can also exercise the option of having other smaller items open in the general category

What happens if the product remains partly unpaid?

In the group-gifting items sometimes it may happen that the entire amount is not completed. In such a scenario Hridei will have a gift certificate issued to you so that you can buy an item of your choice from the same retailer

How do I decide what products should be on “Group-Gifting”?

Typically people add aspirational products to the group-gifting category. These are items that are expensive and beyond the means of being gifted by a single individual

Can I add products to my registry from other websites?

We recommend that you add items that you access from our gallery. This has been done to ensure that you get the products that you have chosen and not some fake/defective products. Hridei will keep adding new product categories after they have vetted the vendors. Avoid situations where you ask the giftor to send you a questionable item.

How will the products be delivered to me?

The products will be delivered by courier to you in the same way as all e-commerce companies do currently

How will I know who has gifted what product?

Hridei will provide you the identity of the person/s who gift you the products

Who will be responsible for the product warranties?

Product warranties will be the responsibility of the manufacturer of the products. Hridei will not be responsible for the same

What happens if the event for which I have created my registry gets cancelled?

Vendor return policies for items which have been delivered will apply. Any credits will accrue to the benefit of the registrant who will be responsible for transferring them back to the giftor.

Registration

Who is the primary registrant?

The primary registrant is the person who is celebrating the event or a designee organizing the event for the honoree.

Who should be the co-registrant?

Co registrant can be your friend or a relative. In case of a wedding the registrant can be the bride and the co registrant the groom or vice versa

Why is a co-registrant important?

It is a beneficial feature of Hridei because in the case of a wedding the groom and the bride will not be intimately familiar with the invitees from the other side.

Do I have to register again for creating a different registry?

No once you have registered for the first event you do not need to register again for the next event. You can go ahead and create your new wish list for a new event. It becomes faster and easier each time you use it.

How often can I modify information on my account?

The price of the product will be applicable till when?

The price ruling on the date the full payment is made will be considered as final. Say you have created a registry on the 5th of April. The price for item A was Rs 3000. On say 30th April a guest sees the wish list and pays for it through the credit card. The price ruling on that day will be considered the actual price. In case the price has become Rs 2750 the guest will pay Rs 2750. In case the price becomes Rs 3250 the guest will have to pay Rs 3250. The same will be applicable for the items in the group-gifting category

When I booked the product there was a discount on the price, but today after sometime the discount has been withdrawn. Why?

This has happened because this item remained unpaid during the discount period

For how long are the prices held?

The price ruling on the day of the final payment is the actual price
